Strong Waist - Chapter 608
Chapter 608 Real man! Van Heisebrooke!
Arsenal won two consecutive draws. Although they failed to win, it is a good result to win a draw on the road in a row.
However, they cannot take it lightly, after all, in the stage of the battle for points, any small mistake may lead to falling behind.
Arsenal is still holding on to the points, and will not be pulled down too much by the first tier.
At the same time, Arsenal also need to prepare for the Champions League.
After nearly two months of truce, the Champions League knockout stage has finally come.
Since Arsenal drew a good draw, their opponents are not very strong.
But Arsenal will not take it lightly. After all, entering the Champions League knockout stage, there is no so-called rookie.
To be able to get to the knockout rounds, all of them were shot with real guns and live ammunition, and it’s not enough if you don’t have any real skills.
In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal will play Ghent away.
Three away games in a row made Arsenal uncomfortable, but the schedule was such that they couldn’t do anything about it.
Arsenal at this time can only grit their teeth and persist.
And Arsenal’s status has still become the key to media coverage.
After all, from the current point of view, even Wenger’s return has failed to fully restore Arsenal to its heyday.
The problem with the lineup still exists, and with the ups and downs of the state, many tactical arrangements cannot be fully implemented.
There are always one or two people who make mistakes or become a breakthrough in the game.
Fortunately, Arsenal has such a super thigh as Luckey who has been in the bottom line.
But Lucky is a person after all, and when he is too weak, Arsenal wants to solve this problem, but at this stage, we can still pray that Lucky is still in an explosive period.
Ghent FC is a team from the Belgian league.
From the play-in stage, all the way to the knockout stage, it can be said that it has experienced hundreds of battles.
And this is the first time they have reached the knockout stage of the Champions League, everything is unfamiliar territory.
But Gent obviously doesn’t want to play passively.
Their head coach Van Heisebrooke said after finishing the group that they would come up with something new in this game.
Many people are curious, what is this guy doing when he falls to the ground.
And facing this atmosphere, the Arsenal team came to the Belgian municipality of Ghent on February 17.
The city gives people an old-fashioned feel, except for the commercial area, the rest of the area is preserved with old-fashioned buildings.
The exterior of the hotel where Arsenal stayed is similar to a church. The whole building is in the shape of a castle, and the internal corridor is also in a circle.
The entire Arsenal team went to the rented training ground for training after settling in.
Because it is before the game, the training is mainly warm-up.
“You said, what are Ghent going to do when he falls to the ground? What new things can they come up with?”
asked Wilshere curiously.
I have to say that this guy, Van Heisebrooke, has mastered the traffic password, and now many people are discussing what secret weapon Ghent is going to use.
In response, Le Kai waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about them, just play our own, there is still a gap in strength!”
Wilshere nodded.
The strength gap between Arsenal and Gent is still very large.
Of course this is under normal circumstances.
But it’s hard to judge, considering Arsenal’s players tend to get their hands dirty during the game.
Especially Sanchez!
This guy completely fell into a self-healing mode after the last round and became a right-wing lone ranger.
Lucky felt that this guy got Sterling’s true pass, and he suffocated his head to the end when he got the ball.
However, this guy’s playing style is still somewhat useful, not all negative factors, for this reason Wenger did not preach to him.
But if this guy keeps playing like this, the overall tactics have some influence.
“Don’t you need to talk about Sanchez?”
Wilshere said that playing like this is not a good thing.
In response, Le Kai shook his head and said, “The coaching staff has their own judgment, we don’t need to worry about it!”
Lucky made a statement, and Wilshere didn’t say much.
Now Wilshere has completely given up on ‘enthronement’.
Is it bad to be a prince?
Besides, even if he wants to start a wave of rebellion, he has to be supported.
With Lucky’s current internal status and prestige, he has nothing to do with it.
At this moment, someone patted Lucky on the shoulder.
Le Kai turned his head to look over and couldn’t help but smile; “How is your body recovering?”
Cazorla raised her leg with a smile and said; “Recovering very well.”
Cazorla has already started training with the team in the last round. After the diagnosis of the team doctor, he has the conditions to withstand the competition.
But after the surgery, Cazorla’s condition plummeted.
He can’t play like he used to.
For this reason, although many Arsenal fans are waiting for the Cazorla + Lucky mode to return, Wenger has no plans to do so.
But it’s good news that Cazorla is back on the court.
After all, this guy was diagnosed with the possibility of early retirement.
Lucky chatted with Cazorla for a while, and Arsenal’s training was over.
Everyone returned to the hotel where they were staying. In the evening, they gathered again in the conference room for a brief tactical review, and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.
Ghent’s home stadium is called the Geirangco Arena, which can only accommodate 20,000 people.
The home court is too small, so it only provides 2,000 seats for Arsenal fans, which is already a lot of face.
At 7 p.m., players from both teams appeared in the player tunnel.
Gent’s players are almost all unfamiliar faces, and their expressions are extremely serious. Obviously, for them, the first Champions League knockout is still under a lot of pressure.
On the other hand, Arsenal’s players are more relaxed.
Although it is an away game, Arsenal still has a strong deterrent force as a giant.
When the Ghent players were standing in line, they subconsciously looked to the front of Arsenal.
Lucky’s back gave them a lot of pressure.
After all, the head coach of Gent has repeatedly emphasized the threat of Luckey.
At the same time, they have also seen the monster-level performance of Lucky through video.
Therefore, how to confront Lekai in midfield is obviously a key point.
“The players on both sides are already in place, and the first round of the 2015/2016 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Gent’s home game against Arsenal.”
Zhan Jun said with a smile; “Ghent is under a lot of pressure. This is their first time to play the Champions League knockout round, and the opponent is the defending champion of the Champions League. This pressure is really too much!”
“The pressure on the midfield is also great!” Zhang Lu said with a smile.
Zhan Jun nodded and looked at the information in his hand and said; “We need to pay special attention to Gent’s No. 10 player Renato Neto. Gent can come to the Champions League knockout stage. This player’s performance is very important. In the group stage , his performance is also very exciting. He has made wonderful dribbling breakthroughs and threatening passes in the midfield many times, helping the team to get close to the Champions League knockout! In the league, Renato Neto is even more famous A one-of-a-kind midfielder, he was dubbed by many as an ‘isolated island’ for solid performance in a roaring sea.”
“And this ‘Island’ Renato Neto is about to face the test of what may be the world’s number one defensive midfielder.”
Zhang Ludao; “Bijia’s strength is not great, so Renato Neto can play well, but in the dialect of the whole of Europe, his ability can only be called excellent, which is already commendable, but in this game In the game, he will face Lekai in the explosive stage! A defensive midfielder who is a monster at the world level!”
“Can he continue this amazing performance? Let’s wait and see!”
During the warm-up of the two commentators, the players from both sides walked out of the player tunnel.
And the starting lineups on both sides also appeared on the big screen.
The moment saw the starting lineup, Zhan Jun and Zhang Luqiqi exclaimed, “Three backs! Ghent chose three backs! This is a surprising lineup!”
“Van Heisebrooke didn’t break his word, he really came up with something new!”
“Three backs, five midfielders, two strikers!”
“This is a plan to go head-to-head with Arsenal’s midfielder!”
“Really just!” Zhan Jun gave a thumbs up, and immediately laughed; “This game is so good! Three defenders, five midfielders! Van Heisebrooke directly showed his sword, this lineup is to say, either you kill me, or I’ll smash you! A real man should confront him head-on!”
